Actually, nothing goes together at Neo Tokyo, but that’s exactly what goes together so well.

With this Yoshimura tail for the birthday, the conversion of the previously optically standard GSX-R 750 from Michel begins.

The engine had already been exchanged for the short-stroke model of the 1989 Gixxer and the large 36 carburettors as well.

The eye-catching lacquer design was inspired by the band Wu-Tang-Clan and the anime classic Akira. No matter how: Successful.

A Gixxer in Katana style, with the double-loop aluminum frame of the first generation, 750 engine from a 1989 GSX-R and the chassis from the Suzuki Srad years. In summary, the career of this long-term renovation and yet the story begins very differently.

The story begins with what is probably a woman’s best birthday present for her husband: What a bike. Michel’s girlfriend gives the creator behind Cool Kid Custom a racing hump from Yoshimura for his private, technically well-converted first generation GSX-R 750. And Michel begins to optically adapt the former sports motorcycle to this hump without paying attention to any conventions. So the Suzuki becomes a punk bike, the GSX-R becomes the Neo Tokyo.

Yoshimura meets katana

To assemble the racing hump, Michel der Suzuki builds a completely new rear frame from aluminum profiles and gives the Yoshimura plastic a lavishly padded seat cushion. To slim down towards the rear, Michel fills the taillight recess with small LED lights and puts a tight license plate holder directly underneath.

With this Yoshimura tail for the birthday, the conversion of the previously optically standard GSX-R 750 from Michel began.

At a friend’s house he discovers the fairing of a GSX 750 ES – with lighter weight Katana resemblance – and just lifts it up to his stripped GSX-R: Fits perfectly, he buys a different fairing for himself, but is very dissatisfied with the large headlight. Three LED lights, which are actually supposed to make a forklift truck visible, then fit far too well into the existing opening. Using a self-welded bracket, he mounts the – unfortunately illegal – lights in the previously slightly shortened half-shell. The new style of his Gixxer lets Michel remove the deep stub without further ado and use a fork bridge from ABM then a superbike handlebar that is easy on the back also fits the Suzuki.

Technology patchwork

Long before the optical radical cure, Michel repeatedly subjected the technology of the original Gixxer to slight updates. First, he swaps his oil-consuming engine for the short-stroke version of the 1989 Suzuki and also takes over its 36-carburetor. Furthermore, he exchanges the original G75 chassis for the fork of the Suzuki GSX-R 750 Srad from the year 2000. The rims and the lush six-piston pliers in the front come from the same source. A positive side effect: by exchanging the 18-inch rear wheel rim for the 17-inch model of the Srad, you can finally drive modern tires with a sporty width of 190 millimeters.

Wu Tang Clan and Akira inspire

The strong combination of the individual components calls for a color scheme that reflects a certain madness. Inspired by the style of the Wu Tang clan and the anime classic Akira, Michel designs a wild graphic mix and mixes them with strong red and yellow colors, uses hard contrasts in black and turquoise and garnishes this with the original stylistic devices of the Suzuki, to find in the tank and the characteristic frame cladding.

Conclusion

When customizers build their own bikes, it usually takes a little longer and it will never be off the shelf or even a copy of previous work. It’s no different with the Neo Tokyo by Cool Kid Customs, although the style is really worth copying. If you are looking for the prices of good G75 Gixxers, please sit down.
